Default Wheel Studs & Lugnuts for C4

I want to go with ARP, slightly longer than stock w/ open lugnuts. Anyone have correct part numbers. Running stock wheels for track day in the Z.
Thanks

I sell the studs on our website, and on our ebay store. The nuts I buy from the Auto parts across the street.

Go with Randy @ DRM, They are 1" longer and hardened and are the correct size to press right in.

Have them on my C4 racer for over 10 years now with no problems.

The only stupid question in racing is one that isn't asked. The idea for the longer stud.

1. Use with spacers, which can change track, needed for brake caliper clearance, and etc

2. Easier to put on the lug nuts

3. can look at the open lug and see if anything looks different, vison torque all the time. I look at tires and wheels in the padock more then anything else.

4. These ARP studs are super strong also, which can be a life saver at the track.
